CLOSURE

Is likely TO work q great revolution In
the Ruglish HOUSE Of Commons. 1t
has already brought the Speaker in
collision with several members, and
there Is growing feeling against him
rs the custodian of an arbitrary ap.
peuato power dangerous to the free-
dom OF debate. Mr.. Gladstone
has expressed some forebodings
Of this and that 1t may CON-
pei an important change In
the existing relations between the
Speaker and the House. These the
London correspondent Of the New
York rrsune tells us, Mr.. Gladstone
expresses publicly aud privately. He
foresoes that frequent appeal for the
Speakers sanction TO motion for
closing debate will strain the relations
between him aud the minority, per-
baps impair his authority, and Ger.
tanly diminish the Difference hitherto
shown him. Then, when the minor
ity, irrltated by frequent suppression,
comes back majority after q general
election, they will be In no mood to
re-elect the came Speaker,ss the custom
has been; 30 that the House will drift
into the American practice and each
party will elect its own Speaker as
each fuds itself in a majority. The
Tory view Of Sir W. Harcourts at
tack is that it was meant 10 intimidate
the Speaker into refusing sanction to
the closure. For the first time in
Parliamentary history cries of Down
with the Speaker" we're heard ON Fri
day evening from the same men who
were wildly cheering Mr.. Gladstone

DIR. wADDELLs BIRTHDAY.

We print in another column a lei.
ter from Olarksville giving a mes-
ger account OF the ceremonies incident
to the appropriate presentation of q
Bible to the Rsv, D.. Waddell, on his
10Th birthday, by the students Of the
Southwestern (Presbyterian) Univer-
sity. DR.. Waddell, in his relation to
the PresbytaliAn Church and to tina
cause Of education, Is an historic char.
acter. Ever since his 18th year, that
is, for tifty.Oevsn yesrs, he has
been teacher, teacher most
when occupying the pulpit he ex-
pounded the truths OF philosophy as
profound as 1t is simple-the truest
guide Of life, In these fity.seven years,
the most eventual in the hist Dry Of the
United States, Dr.. Waddell has been
largely instrumental in shaping public
sentiment through the men he educa-
ted and sent out to the various fields
Of life. That he did his duty by them
is attestsd in his continued useful
ness as teacher, and the veneration,
respect and love In which he Is held
by those who are today proating
as Their fathers did by his
diFecti n and care. What honor
is there in lie comparable to this
Ettestation Of his worth and to the
strength of the unimpaired powers
that still remain to make him master
in his chosen field. All men, of what
ever section or creed, who read what
we print this morning, will be glad to
unite with the boys in best wishes fol
the venerable Presideat "ior every day
OF life that yet remains to him." and
that he may long live the apostle Of
"Liberiy without license; authority
without despotism."

THE MARITIME BANK
Failure, ard How II Was Brought
About.

ST., JOHN, N. B., April 3 Ia con-
rection with the recent failrr4 OF the
Maritime Bank it has been scovered
that bills of exchange which passed
between the Stewart firm, Guy Beysn
& Co. and Bank, were Endorsed by
boys in the employ OF the three con-
Germs. The last English mail brought
notices to several of these boys that
bills bearing their names had been
dishonored, and asking them to
provide for them About a doz.
en- boys were used for this pur-
pose, and the operations have been
going on for some time, bankers who
accepted the bills thinking the in
dorseIs were responsible arties, One
lad has stated that when these firms
aud the Maritime Bank began hand
ling the bills Of exchange together, no
indorser was required save the person
10 whose name the bill was drawn,
but as time passed on and the
paper became known in New
York and Canadian markets, and
some of the bankers demanded
that in future bill should
bear more than one name, then the
boys were called into requisition. The
lads say they we're never shown the
faces of the bills until they received
notice, and did not know the amounts
that we're contained in them. s. me
of them have indorsed to the amount
Of 1000 pounds. Further developments
are looked for,

Second Reading Of the Irish Crime
Act Moved.

LONDON, April 8 The second read
ing of the irish crimes act amendment
bill was formally moved in the House
OF Commons this afternoon by Mr..
Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland.
Sir Bernhard SamueIHon (G,adatnn.
ian), Member for the Binbnry Divis-
ion of Oxfordshire, moved an amend.
ment to the bill to the effect that "the
bill would, if plrsed, increase he dis
order in Ireland and endsnger the
Union and the Empire, and, the eiore,
should he rejected"
The Right Hon. Henry Chaplin,
Conservative member for tbs Sleatord
Division of Lincolnshire, defended
the bill. The land laws which the
Radicals now condemned, he said,
were passed while MIR. Gladstone was
at Tho head OF the government.
M. Chaplin asked Mr., Gladstone
not Is Libela not as a politician
merAly, but as an honest man, to dis
own before Ireland ard the world the
doctrine OF cheer plunder now preach
ed in Ireland. Ii there WAS any rob-
berry IL come tiol with the present
land syatem of that country, the author
OF it was Mr.. Gladstone. 1t was he
who fixed the rem 8 in Ireland under
solemn guarantee that they should
remain unaltered.
Sir Charles Russell (Home Ruler
tainted Mr.. Chaplin on the consis-
tency with which he opposed every
m, a1ure for the benefit of the Irish
tenants. He asked whether the gov
eminent had received mandate from
the country in favor Of coercion. Sta
tistics, he said, proves that Ireland at
present was ireer from crime than
Eug'aud and fieer than any other
country in Europe. Cheers.l He
then proceeded to disseCt the bill con-
demning The powers given to magis-
trstes, declaring that the change OF
venue OF trials could FEVER be en-
forced, and denouncing the general
character Ct G. rain clauses, which he
sa,d we're 80 elastic rs to confer I'M

MEMPHIS APPEAL
WEDNESDAY (: APRIL q, 1852
THE SOCIALISTS DEFEATED.

The socialists OF Chicago have been
defeated. They did not poll half the
vote they expected and boosted they
would on Monday. They prevented
the Democrats from putting a candi-
date in the flsld and forced all
the better and more conservative
elements Of society to vote
in body for Mr.. Roche, the
Republican candidate for Mayor, who
wac elected by about $4,000 majority.
With the awful lesson OF last sum
mer's anarchy before them, the people
Of Chicago could not have done less
than thus defeat an attempt to place
their property and their lives at the
mercy Of the Socialists. Anarchy can
not win In Chicago.
